Abstract:
Electron spin echo envelope modulation studies are performed on human hemoglobin cyanide, hemoglobin nitroxide and hemoglobin nitroxide + inositol hexaphosphate at neutral pH. The modulation data are Fourier transformed and are analyzed in the frequency domain. The frequency components observed from hemoglobin cyanide indicate modulation from the coordinated nitrogen N-1 of the proximal imidazole (His-F8). In the case of hemoglobin nitroxide, the binding of inositol hexaphosphate causes the nitrogen N-3 of the proximal imidazole to be protonated in some of the subunits. From a comparison with other studies on these derivatives of hemoglobin, these subunits are identified as the alpha-subunits.
